Which versions of pycalculater are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of pycalculater are flagged malicious: 0.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate pycalculater if I installed it?

pycalculater is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.

I already installed pycalculater — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If pycalculater was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.

Is pycalculater part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — pycalculater is associated with the RLMA-2024-11125, 2024-11-discconnect, RLUA-2026-00622 campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find pycalculater across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for pycalculater (version 0.1).

pip uninstall pycalculater

What this malware does

During installation, a remote, obfuscated executable is downloaded and started. The executable at least disables automated updates, malware protection and other security mechanisms.

Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.

Campaign: 2024-11-discconnect

Reasons (based on the campaign):

typosquatting
The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation.
Downloads and executes a remote executable.
